Easily Connect to Any Canary Server

Info

Find Detailed Docs Here: Tag Provider

Canary and Tatsoft share a common tag definition and asset modeling

In addition to the embedded Canary Historian, we also have a new built-in integration with the Canary System that is easy to use, high speed and extremely secure, as it leverages Canary’s .NET API to connect at the core level, allowing you to publish and consume data and use Canary’s tags and models as well. 
 
There’s no need for extra configuration or even to create tags within FrameworX – simply define the server and browse the assets you need!

MQTT Client Simulator

With FrameworX 9.2, we are releasing a MQTT Client simulator (with Sparkplug) to make testing easier and faster – testing for projects in general, testing for communication with the FrameworX MQTT Client, and for testing our new Dynamic Tag Provider functionality with MQTT.

Why struggle with multiple tools? With this simulator, you can easily publish 30k simulated values to the MQTT Broker – all from the same design environment.

We’ve Made Choosing A MQTT Broker Much Easier!

Those familiar with MQTT know that projects using this technology need a MQTT Broker: with FrameworX, we connect to any brokers that use MQTT protocols, as well as MQTT SparkplugB and Azure IoT, and also including an embedded MQTT Broker for testing and development.

As your applications expand, or if you want the benefits and support of an enterprise class MQTT Broker, you can buy a bundled HiveMQ subscription license with any Tatsoft product.

  • Available in multiple configurations
  • HiveMQ Industrial Edge – Basic Edition – 250 MQTT Clients
  • HiveMQ Industrial Edge – Premier Edition – 1000 MQTT Clients
  • HiveMQ Professional Edition – Unlimited Clients

AnchorStoreStore

Edge Store-And-Forward

Canary and MQTT

We’ve added the Store-And-Forward functionality when FrameworX publishes data to the Canary Historian or a MQTT Broker, which means we temporary store the data of a message for transmission to its destination at a later time, in case the network is not accessible for any reason. 

This functionality is essential in data collection projects, where the data is sent to a remote repository.
